Farm animals sticking around the bath

Advantages: good water toys
Disadvantages: none mmmm maybe get chewed

...Time for fun in the bath Let?s find all the toys then. I have some farm bath time stickers. (well they are works ones really). These Farm bath time stickers are toys from Alex who produce many children?s toys. This set of stickers is in a mesh bag, approx 24 cm (H) x 21cm (W) This bag has suction cups that attach to loops at the top of the net bag . The suction cups make it easy to fix the bag to the bathroom tiles the mesh bag ideal to pop the stickers in after use so that they will drain and dry.

These vehicles Will SQUIRT water at you

Advantages: fun with water
Disadvantages: none

...Squirt one of these vehicles at your child and I guarantee they will squeal with joy. Yes more water squirters from Alex toys this time ones shaped like vehicles. There are 5 vehicles a boat, a car, a plane a police car , and a fire engine .They come in a clear zip bag which has a mesh net base so when they are all tidied away you can hang them up to drain. These PVC water squirters are phthalate free so they are safe for baby. They are suitable for babies over 6 months old .A baby this age will probably not have as much fun with them as an 18 month to 3 year old will. These water squirters are fairly easy to grasp and squeeze to make them squirt water after they have been immersed in the bath or pool.. . Each water squirter is about 7cm long a good size for a little hand. These vehicles are quite attractive appropriately...

Review of I, Alex Cross - James Patterson

"Toys" For All Ages

Advantages: Great humor and non-stop adventure.
Disadvantages: You should not operate heavy machinery while watching this show!

...This movie brings out the inner child in me! When I first saw this movie, my aspiration became to one day work in an awesome toy factory like the one in this show. Robin Williams is absolutely hilarious as Leslie (Williams) embarks on an childlike adventure with his strange yet comedic sister (Joan Cusack) as they try to bring back the joy and purity of their father's toy factory after it is taken over by their uncle (a stern military man). You will relive your dreams and fantasies as you experience the kind of toys that most of us wished we had. From dolls and stuffies, to war toys and videos games - it's all here! Have you ever seen a Sea Swine or Hurly Burly Helicopters or Maui Waui Fake Vomit or a Woozy Helmet? If you haven't you've got to see this show. It is a totally goofy and crazy flick that will have you laughing out...

Review of Toys (DVD)

Toy Story: One for the children.

Advantages: Good gameplay, alright graphics, fun for the kids.
Disadvantages: Unmemorable music, will become quickly boring to adults.

...Age Rating: 3+ Around £3 - £5 on Ebay.co.uk. Minimum Requirements: Double Speed (2x) CD-ROM Drive. 486DX2-66MHz or faster processor. 8MB of available RAMC12MB recommended. 10MB free disk space. Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later (Windows 95 compatible). 8-bit sound card. 256 colour Vesa, Pci or other local bus video. (There is no multi-player) I'm sure everyone's seen or at least heard of Disney's Toy Story movie which is about toys coming to life when the humans are not around. This is a video game following the storyline and creating fun levels to play. I'd had bought this years ago when I was younger and had promptly given up after becoming stuck on one of the earlier levels, four to six years later and a pound sign next to the title on Ciao! (It's all about the money) I'm loading up the game on my laptop...

Review of Toy Story (PC)

Alex Rider - Stormbreaker on DS - poor fighting game

Advantages: Extra unlockable content, snooker sub-game
Disadvantages: A very poor game, poor value and poor execution

...This review is for the game Alex Rider - Stormbreaker for the Nintendo DS, developed by Altron and published by THQ. The game is an arcade type game with lots of different kinds of game play, from driving to snooker and from fighting to exploring. Primarily though the aim is to fight your way through the levels with numerous sub games. In terms of difficulty, the game is too easy, and I say that as someone who doesn?t necessarily find games simple to complete. There is a lack of challenge generally in the game and very little in the game to make a player return. The fighting element of the game, which is most of it, is quite pointless, with your character able to easily beat even groups of opponents. There are some highlights in the game, including the mini game, the snooker game, which is quite fun and entertaining. But people...

Review of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (Nintendo DS)

  Play with the Toys not Groceries!

Advantages: Great value for money.
Disadvantages: Only the larger Tesco stores stock them.

...* Prices and Range * On Tesco's web site, or in smaller stores, you cannot buy the wide range of products that you would expect to find in a good toy shop. Their web site will only help you choose children?s books by age range or price, also DVDs, CDs and computer games aimed at children. We live near one of the largest Tesco stores, and went there yesterday to do our grocery shopping, but also had a look round the toy section for Christmas presents. They had the sort of presents you could find on line, as mentioned above, but also a wide variety of other toys for all ages. Because of the time of day we went, there were lots of mums with pre-school children, whose children were showing a great deal of interest in the very reasonably priced Tesco?s own brand toys. There were toys for older children in their own brand...

Review of Tesco Toys

Supergirl, meet Alex Mack

Advantages: great show, plot and cast
Disadvantages: nothing

...I think ive gone a bit crazy but I just seem to be thinking about all the old Nickelodeon programmes I use to watch as a teenager and I just feel like writing about my favourite ones. Now my previous review was on Sister, Sister. This review will focus on another show aired on Nickelodeon, however with a totally different concept. Im reviewing the "Secret World of Alex Mack", which aired between October 1994 and January 1998. The show was originally scripted to replace Clarissa Explains it all which finished some months before the start of this show. Nickelodeon executives wanted a show that would be just as popular amongst the teenage crowd, and del with more grown up issues such as friendship, individuality and anything else teenagers go through nowadays. I have to admit, the reason I was fond of this show was because it was more...

Review of The Secret World Of Alex Mack

Tesco Toys

Advantages: prices are good, can be ordered mail order too, good choice
Disadvantages: limited maybe in smaller stores

...I have been very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the toys for the prices that they are sold at in Tesco. They sell a fair range of toys. I find they are very definately for boys or for girls, don't do such a range of unisex toys (in my branch anyway). I have a son, and I have bought quite a lot of his toy cars and cuddlies (when baby) from here. The best value in my eyes is the wooden train sets. Trains/carriages are 99p each (they are the magnetic sort) and you can either buy a basic figure of eight track or a larger set that has trees, people, cows etc in. They have a wide range of accessories like - tunnel, level crosing, ticket office/station (with sounds), platform, turntable etc. The extra's start from about £3 each and are not that expensive. You can also buy extra packs of track, both curved and straight...
